Thread: Tiling a background image on Desktop




Tiling a background image on Desktop

When I change the default background of the desktop to an image that I have uploaded, and then select to Tile it, it displays perfectly except that the border area around the tiled image is white, I want it black.  I can't find out where to change the border area around the tiled image to be black, what am I missing.  Sorry if it is obvious answer, I have looked all around in Configuration panel and tried everything.

There is no border area around the tiles.  There is a
background colour
if the image has transparent areas or an alpha channel, and
that
colour is white.  Strangely, it shows as black in the
wallpaper
preview.

I'm guessing that either your image actually has a white
border, or it
has a transparent border.  You could try editing your image
in gimp,
adding a black background and merging the layers.
